  • Ii.2. Meridian Highway (Sh 2) – Us 81 – Ih 35/35W
    The Development of Highways in Texas: A Historic Context of the Bankhead Highway and Other Historic Named Highways II.2. MERIDIAN HIGHWAY (SH 2) – US 81 – IH 35/35W INTRODUCTION The Meridian Highway historically has been the major north–south named highway in Texas since the early 1910s. As originally conceived by the International Meridian Road Association in 1911, it stretched from Canada to Mexico, extending through the nation’s mid-section and the expansive Great Plains region. It initially was planned to enter Texas near Burkburnett and continued south through Wichita Falls, Bowie, Fort Worth, Cleburne, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and Laredo. A major lateral, called the Gulf Division, was planned to extend from Waco to Galveston, passing through Marlin, Bryan, Hempstead, and Houston. (See Figure 164.) With the creation of the Texas Highway Department in 1917, the Meridian Highway in Texas was designated as SH 2, signifying that the Texas Highway Commission deemed it to be the state’s second most important highway at the time, after the Bankhead Highway (SH 1). The adoption of the AASHO interstate highway numbering plan added another designation layer onto the Meridian Highway: US 81. That name, rather than SH 2, has endured over time. However, US 81 did not follow the route proposed by the Meridian Road Association precisely. The creation of US 81 in Texas excluded the Wichita Falls– Bowie leg, which was renamed as US 277 and, later, US 370. The Gulf Division also was excluded from the route of US 81; instead, it became SH 6 and, later, US 75.

  • Underground Railroad Route Along El Camino Real De Los Tejas
    Underground Railroad Route Along El Camino Real de las Tejas By Rolonda Teal July 2010 Challenge Cost Share Program National Trails Intermountain Region National Park Service Underground Railroad Route Along El Camino Real de la Tejas Project Background In eastern Texas and western Louisiana, El Camino Real de la Tejas was formed from a series of trails used by Caddo Indians for travel between villages. Spanish colonists took over parts of those existing trails for the transportation of animals, military, civilian and religious personnel as well as supplies. Camino Real translates simply as the “King’s Highway” and continued to be used in this way throughout Spanish dominion. French citizens from Louisiana also used the same paths for illegal and legal trade and as a means of travel to San Antonio to conduct business. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, portions of El Camino Real that were associated with the American period became known as the Old San Antonio Road. El Camino Real represents a series of paths that intercepted at various points along a main thoroughfare and not just a single road. In all, the King’s Highway as defined by the National Park Service extends from Monclova, Mexico to Natchitoches, Louisiana and covers approximately 2,400 miles in distance (NPS 1998:1). In 1911 the Texas chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution adopted a resolution calling for formal identification and marking of the historic road. MajorV. N. Zively was hired to survey the route in an attempt to identify original portions of the road. A year later Zively reported that portions of the road could definitely be identified.

  • 1 Spanish Royal Roads
    Spanish Royal Roads The Spanish empire in North America was linked with Spain via a series of Los Caminos Reales or royal roads. The three north-south roads west of Natchitoches continued to be used after Mexican independence in 1821 although no longer properly called royal roads. The name "El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro" (The Royal Road of the Interior Land) is most often applied to the trail that connected Mexico City with the missions, pueblos and presidios along the Rio Grande River extending north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. This trail followed the path taken by Juan de Oñate in 1598 to establish the province of New Spain. This Chihuahua Trail, connecting with the Santa Fe Trail was later used by traders as well as a the military in the Mexican War. In California the Royal Road, commonly called the "California Mission Trail" connected Mission San Francisco Solano in the north, via San Diego de Alcalá in San Diego, with Loreto in Baja California to the south. It also connected at San Diego with the road via Arispe to Mexico City. This road served primarily as a communication route between the California missions and the religious center of Mexico City. In 1776 Father Junípero Serra approved a monthly, courier mail system connecting the missions in California. The "El Camino Real de Los Tejas" (The Royal Road of the Texas) traversed Texas following the Sabine River and connected Mexico City with what is now Natchitoches, Louisiana. This road was used as a supply and military route during the War of Texas independence as well as the Mexican War.
